Drakenfeld by Mark Charan Newton
4.0
I must begin by saying that I did try to read another fantasy series by him and did not like that one at all. But I still gave this one a go and I am glad I did. It was different and really good.
It's basically a murder mystery. And our lead detective is Lucan Drakenfeld, the genre is fantasy and the world is very Roman.
Right another cop story for me, and yet another fantasy book that mainly takes place in a big city. No running around on an adventure here. No Lucan comes to his home town, says farewell to his dead father and begins to investigate the murder of the King's sister. He and his assistant goes from clue to clue, sees what the city is really about and moves from the highest to the lowest social circles. The whole mystery sure had me wondering and there were just so many suspects. But it all came together beautifully and I would love to read more about Drakenfeld.
I also liked the whole "Roman" style. Rome conquering other nations, and the whole style of living too. But it still felt fantasy and not just like I fell into another Rome dimension. He made it is.
A cool book and I would love to read more. Well written too.
